Would you trade a 4th/5th for Brandon Lloyd?

we wouldn't automatically get a compensatory pick if we lost him to free agency, it doesn't work that way. Plus you don't know what round it would be, they don't give out many 4th or 5ths (last draft there were only 2 in each of those rounds). Very possible we get nothing as we aren't going to lose many notable FAs and even if we did I'd guess it'd be a 6th or 7th and not until 2013 as has been said.

dont quite know how to approach this one...

Think about that for a second.

Its rumors, but if John Fox actually wants Clausen back to play behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, I say why not. I don't think its true because if Fox wants him so much, why didn't he work with him more last year?

Duuno if anyone has brought this up, but why would be give up anything for a guy who has had one good year out of his eight in the league, that coupled with the fact that he only has one year left, no thanks. I wouldnt wanna sign him to a big extension anyways

yea he was awesome last year but i dont really trust that the fire is always going to be there

Yeah, must be a real downer for a receiver to leave a team with a QB carousel consisting of Kyle Orton, The Golden Calf of Bristol, and Brady Quinn and come to a team with a QB that has been rewriting the rookie QB record books of late...

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
